The Relationship

Observing the relationship between men and women, actually recognized the existence of two relationships that are connotative be distinguished, that, sexual relations and gender relations. Sexual relationship is the relationship between men and women based on the demands and biological categories. Whereas gender relations is a concept and a different social reality, in which the sexual division of labor between men and women is not based on an understanding of normative and biological categories, but on the quality, skills, and roles based on social conventions. Thus, the concepts and manifestations of gender relations more dynamic and has the flexibility to consider psycho-social variables were developed. Based on this understanding, it could be someone who is biologically classified as a woman, but from the point of gender may play a role as a man or vice versa. Therefore, we need to reorient the roles of women, especially their involvement in the organization of the Islamic community, which often marginalized.

Este artigo apresenta uma pesquisa no qual se analisou a produção de subjetividades em uma escola de ensino fundamental em um bairro de Maceió/AL. A pesquisa problematizou a demarcação de gênero constituída a partir de duas atividades econômicas e culturais presentes no lugar, a produção da renda filé e a pesca. A partir dos enunciados que circulam na escola sobre essas atividades, com base nas ferramentas teóricas fornecidas por Foucault, a pesquisa analisou os discursos produtores de subjetividades que estãooperando predominantemente na escola com base nessa divisão sexual do trabalho. As estratégias metodológicas utilizadas foram observações, entrevistas e grupos de discussão com estudantes. Observamos que os modos de ser dos sujeitos são resultados de técnicas de governo das relações de gênero que objetivam determinar as possibilidades de ser e viver, estabelecendo fronteiras fortemente demarcadas entre o que é feminino e o que é masculino.Palavras-chave: Currículo; Gênero; Subjetividade; Ensino fundamental.Curriculum and gender: production and naturalization of differences in schoolAbstractThis article presents a research intended to analyze the production of subjectivities in an elementary school in a neighburhood area of Maceió/AL. It also aimed at a discussion about the demarcation of gender formed by two economic and cultural activities taking place there, the production of lace of file and fishing. From the statements circulating in school about these activities, based on theoretical tools provided by Foucault, the research examined the discourses producing subjectivities in terms of gender, which goes on predominantly in school as to the sexual division of labor in the community. The methodological strategies used were observations, interviews and discussion groups with students. We noticed that the children’s waysof being are the result of techniques of ruling gender relations in order to determine the possibilities of being and living, establishing borders sharply demarcated between what is feminine and what is masculine.Keywords: Curriculum; Gender, Subjectivitie, Elementary School.

The Family

Given that food is shared within the family and a sexual division of labor with respect to hunting-gathering activities exists, then territorial groups will tend to be patrilocally basedIt has been shown that at least two types of territoriality may be distinguished—sexual and economic. These are associated with societies of animals which, intraspecifically, represent the smallest kind of grouping having maximal autonomy. In species which are largely food-limited, it is the food supply with which autonomy is largely concerned.In species in which the family pair defends an economic territory, both the male and female may engage in this, though the male more frequently than the female. In the social ants, males exist only as breeders, and specialized females defend the territory. In all cases, the territory must be defended by the individuals who range the widest and, in accordance with Postulate One, have contacts with individuals of similar groups.In Homo sapiens, the males defend the territory. There are two major reasons for this, both related to a division of labor along sex lines. The first is that the male, in this division of labor, is the widest ranging of the two sexes. The second is the primate heritage of sexual dimorphism which adapts the male as a combatant more than the female.

And Gender

Although Aida Overton Walker (1880–1914) belonged to the same generation of turn-of-the-century African American performers as did Bob Cole, J. Rosamond Johnson, Bert Williams, and George Walker, she had a rather different view of how best to represent her race and gender in the performing arts. Walker taught white society in New York City how to do the Cakewalk, a celebratory dance with links to West African festival dance. In Walker's choreography of it, it was reconfigured with some ingenuity to accommodate race, gender, and class identities in an era in which all three were in flux. Her strategy depended on being flexible, on being able to make the transition from one cultural milieu to another, and on adjusting to new patterns of thinking. Walker had to elaborate her choreography as hybrid, merging her interpretation of cakewalking with the preconceptions of a white culture that became captivated by its form. To complicate matters, Walker's choreography developed during a particularly unstable and volatile period. As Anna Julia Cooper remarked in 1892.

Abstract The aim of this paper is to examine the functionality of impoliteness strategies as rhetorical devices employed by acclaimed African American and White hip-hop artists. It focuses on the social and artistic function of the key discursive element of hip-hop, namely aggressive language. The data for this paper comprise songs of US African American and White performers retrieved from the November 2017 ‘TOP100 Chart’ for international releases on Spotify.com. A cursory look at the sub-corpora (Black male/ Black female/ White male/ White female artists’ sub-corpus) revealed the prominence of the ‘use taboo words’ impoliteness strategy. The analysis of impoliteness instantiations by considering race and gender as determining factors in the lyrics selection process unveiled that both male groups use impoliteness strategies more frequently than female groups. It is also suggested that Black male and White female singers employ impoliteness to resist oppression, offer a counter-narrative about their own experience and self (re)presentation and reinforce in group solidarity.
